Please Help! Weird problems on some file...

[KaLaNSWING]

So I recently trying to watch some video stored in my hard drive locally, but I found that the file can't be recognized

If I right click and see the property of these video files, it shows the file size as 0B, also when I try to delete, rename, copy or move these to other location

windows tell me "this file isn't exists anymore" (I translated it by myself, my system language isn't english)

I was thought these file was corrupted or there is bad sector in the HDD, but I didn't find one in the disk scan(Done by HD Tune)

But interestingly, I can still watch the video normally through SMB from my android phone and ipad??? (And I can copy those file)

Anyone know that's wrong with these file? I have backup of those video so it is not a problems to wipe it but I really wonder why

and is there any way to fix it, also prevent it to happen again

I have never seen this situation before....

im not sure why it happens but it does tend to happen now and then.

 

but its pretty rare for it to happen, so as long as your not getting the issue frequently then i wouldnt worry about it

Well You could try to play the Video from the Phone folder on your desktop - Play with phone pluged in to pc

I can't explain what happened here except maybe they're links to files located on a different disk and the disk was disconnected. The items would report as 0B but that doesn't explain why you can still stream them over SMB.

 

I'd have to sit there and see your setup. Usually when a file says it doesn't exist anymore you can refresh the page and the entry will disappear. If you cut/paste the files over SMB or try to delete them over SMB you might be able to get rid of the error files.
